It will also be easier to tighten the coils as the old pins will have =
rust grooves that keep the wire from seating correctly.

  Hello John and List
  The old pins are grotty, rusted and deformed and would not be worth =
preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which the old pins will have their =
scoring (the end part of the pin which is in the plank) filled with old =
wood particles and rust. The new pins will be chromed and indeed .. new. =
The object is to find out what your collective reaction is to CA-ing in =
new pins.
  Regards

    Hi Michael,
    It doesn't make sense to buy the same size, new.=20
     If you want to try the C/A, save your customer the cost of the new =
pins, you can always 'reblue' the old ones.

      Hello List
      Thought I'd start a thread about re-stringing. We usually use the =
"next-size-up" tuning pins when re-stringing but basic science tells me =
that the smaller the pin the less unwinding leverage on it from the =
string. So. How about a new set of tuning pins the same size as the old =
and using CA to "glue" them in....Ha! Ha!
